Publishing powerhouse Ubisoft today announced that its tactical shooter Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 is in development for GameCube and will be released this spring. The title, which is being handled by Ubisoft's Shanghai studio, will receive a T for Teen rating.

Ghost Recon 2 pits players as Captain Scott Mitchell, the leader of the Ghost Recon Special Forces team, on an all-new mission to end a developing crisis in North Korea sometime during the year 2007. The game serves up a Lone Wolf single-player campaign "based on prototypical soldier-of-the-future combat currently being developed by the US government," according to Ubisoft, as well as brand new squad of Ghosts. The title employs both third-person behind-the-back and first-person views for varying gunplay.

"A brand-new team of Ghosts is storming the Nintendo GameCube this week," said Tony Kee, vice president of marketing for Ubisoft. "They will blow away gamers with near-future realism, intense action, and an original campaign that could have been ripped from today's headlines."

Ubisoft did not announce GameCube-exclusive features, but the title will not feature an online mode, like its Xbox predecessor.

The GameCube version of Ghost will retail for $49.99.
